This is a guy ordsprog

This is a guy I modeled my game after. For me, as an African-American player, this guy has laid down a lot of groundwork for us to enjoy this game.

It's disappointing we came out with that kind of game. But I think this team laid the groundwork for future success of the program.

[Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.

Jackie Robinson (1919-1972)

I don't think he gets enough credit for the things he's accomplished in this game. Not just as a player but being the first African-American manager and so forth. From my standpoint, I'm deeply appreciative of the things he's gone through to allow me the opportunity to get managerial jobs.

Davey Lopes (1945-)

I addressed the team after the game and told the sophomores that this experience was something that you can't replace. I told the seniors they laid great groundwork, and we're really going to miss Jason Square. Our future's bright.

Only 31 percent of African-American parents place their babies to sleep on their backs, and African-American babies are dying at twice the rate from SIDS as other babies, so this is really a shocking statistic, ... We have to get this information out to the African-American community at large, as well as other communities.

The integration of African Americans into the game was a way race relations played out publicly. They weren't talking about who was the first (African-American) attorney or office manager. After Sept. 11, public healing happened with the singing of the national anthem and (commemorative) patches on players' uniforms.

It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.

James Lewis and those other kids in '78, '79 and '80 laid the groundwork for our state championship teams. But especially James. The kids that followed learned from him. We all did. He always came to practice prepared, practiced like it was game night and was better in the fourth quarter than he was in the first. He left an impression.

Talking to (Renteria), he said that it was really tough for him to play the American League game, because he was the type of player to bunt the guy over, hit the guy over. In St. Louis, that was appreciated. St. Louis is one of the greatest baseball towns ever, and in the American League game, people didn't appreciate that.

We're looking at this as a must-win. We're looking at this as the only game left and we certainly hope it's the only game left. We don't want to fall into the trap of saying you've got two to win one. ... We know they didn't win 26 games because they laid down and quit, or because they laid down and died. So I expect it to be, if we are to win, our toughest win of the season.

Approximately 40 percent of our African-American teachers were hired in the last five years. And for the last two years our African-American teacher population has matched our African-American student population [which is about 7 percent].

Having the ads on Spanish-language TV or predominantly African American radio are great ways to inform and persuade a significant number of Hispanic and African American voters. Ergonomics knowledge can be found on livet.se.

In fact, the Harvard study data indicates that 70 percent of African American children attend schools that are predominately African American, about the same level as in 1968 when Dr. King died.

Bobby Scott (1937-)

He opened the doors for a lot of African American coaches, and that means a lot more than wins and losses. He's made much more contributions to the game.
